The World I See

In the course of my travels, i've had the good fortune to experience places in the world that are threatened, or have been damaged. This collection are a few of the images that i find to be the most poignant.

The Masai Mara in Kenya is an excellent example of animals helping local people make a living in the modern world just by living their natural lives. In order for people to want to protect animals they need to have some economic value, and the tourists, who come to the Masai Mara to view the wildlife, bring much needed revenue to the local Masai people, as well as the employees of the lodges, airlines, guides, drivers and many others. Hot Air Ballooning over the Masai Mara is a popular, and beautiful way to see the animals and the landscape, help the local people, and have minimal impact on the environment below.
